    Overall the food was good, but the service was nearly non existent. Drink order came out quick, and that was it. The waiter had to be reminded to bring out wasabi and ginger, forgot to bring out the miso that was ordered, and so on. We ordered 2 rolls and 2 sashimi and it took around 50 minutes to get the first part, then another 20-30 for the second. It wasn’t terribly busy, and nothing was communicated to explain all of this. It wasn’t a horrible experience, but it was a first time and last time eating here for sure.
